Being a monday holiday after Christmas, we decided to go to Taka for a walk and Cleo loves it. She keeps pointing at stuff and she wants to walk around and touch stuff.

When she sleeps, she sleeps deeply.

The sky can fall, but she will still be sleeping.

Cleo drew the wall today, this is the first time our kid have scribbled with a marker on the wall. Red colour somemore. We made her stand beside her art and scolded her. Showed her our sturn face and even smacked her palm with a ruler. And her respond was… walking away while clapping her hands to mimic us smaking her hands.

Cleo has such a strong character… its as if she is telling us, “whats wrong with drawing the wall, you never did tell me i could not draw the wall, smack my hand somemore when its clearing your lack of informing me… nneeeevermiiiiind…”. She actually walked away while we were talking to her.

This girl is going to be a challenging one.

Cleo wakes up well in the morning. She will roll around in her cot, drink her milk (breakfast)… allow you to change her… sit and wait for everyone else to get ready.

Cleo is a real darling, mommy and daddy will smile when we see Cleo being herself (very extremly cute) and sitting there, doing nothing much, but maybe just playing with her hands or making silly sounds.

What more can you ask of a kid.

Thank God and his blessings over our family and for such a wonderful kids.

Cleo found a new place to play and its at Sentosa. This water play area is very safe as its all wood, so slippery falls are fine.

Cleo had so much fun playing with the water and she kept trying to catch the water. You had to be there to see how she enjoyed herself. We will definately bring the kids there again.

We brought Cleo and Clié to the airport to chill today as it was a public holiday. I wonder when will we bring Cleo and Clié on a plane ride. Hmm… now they are just too young to even remember the trip. I think we better try to get Cleo a passport first. lol…

The picture was taken at Café Ritazza at Changi Airport Terminal 1, no we did not go overseas to chill for the evening.

Its official, Cleo likes daddy more. We got no idea why. When Cleo sees mommy and daddy, she will choose daddy. When mommy is carrying Cleo and Cleo sees daddy, Cleo wants daddy. lol… maybe opposite attracts, cuz Cleo is very much like mommy.

Cleo turns 1 today! Happy Bidthday Cleo, Mommy, Daddy and Clié loves you! You are such a lovely baby!

from left behind Cleo: Ethan, Erin Joy, Carissa, Cleo and Hanah. Not in photos are Joshua and Rebecca.

We had a kids party last saturday. More info here.

Cleo is big enough to go to the playground now. Although she still can’t walk, but we allowed her to crawl around abit… yes in the hand-will-turn-blue-if-you-touch-the-ground kind of playground.

Anyway, she loved the rides and i love the moment we are having now.

She is such a happy girl.

We love to have her in the room.

She dare to get down the bed herself now.

Baby Cleo is growing well, feeding well and very happy. Her smiles, her laughter, her little actions that amuses herself… she is wonderful.

“Children are a gift from the LORD;
they are a reward from him.”
Psalm 127:3

We all know that Cleo looks like mommy’s side and even daddy agrees, but this picture is of daddy’s mom’s sister-in-law’s side in UK. Not related by blood in anyway, but still this 2 babies look so alike in this 2 picture. Don’t you think so?

Cleo is standing up most of the time now. Holding onto furniture and walking as much as she can.

Its just a while more and she can walk already.

Another thing she loves to do is to “bang table” lol… she starts young.

Today we went to Geláre at East Coast. Quite nice to bring the girls out. We just wanted to get out to have ice-cream, but one idea lead to another and we ended up at east coast after leaving Punggol which is kinda far away. Thank God for the car.

Thats mommy with Cleo.

Thats Clié, daddy and Cleo.

Cleo is getting prettier and cuter by the day. With her warm and loving character and small little actions, even when we are stressed or unhappy, just looking at her and her happy face makes us feel so much better. Almost everytime when we look at her, she brings a smile to our faces.

Cleo is starting to want to walk now, she lifts herself up to the furniture and walks along it with her hands holding onto the support. Its not too long away for her to start walking.
